OVERVIEW
So full disclosure, I have read all of Lian Dolan's books and have enjoyed them so much!! This book was read chronologically out of order, Lost and Found in Paris is the most recent publication. It really doesn't matter, however, because all of Lian's books are stand-alone novels.
REVIEW: 4.5 stars
Writing: 4.0 stars
Lian Dolan is a very good writer, but her books are escapism for me and so much FUN!! I really did laugh out loud because it was a perfect description of sisters and family! Honestly, I inhaled this book once I started reading it because I loved it!
Character development: 4.5 stars
The protagonists of the story are THE Sweeney sisters and they are AWESOME! Exactly like so many sisters that I have known. Every sister has her designated role in her family and carries out their role perfectly! The best part was seeing the growth of the sisters and choosing family over EVERYTHING. So lovely!!
Storyline: 4.5 stars
The storyline was great, but I am being very careful as there are some bombshells along the way in this novel. It really sets up nicely, digs deep, and then ends beautifully. I really enjoyed it!!
Book cover: 4.5 stars
Colorful with SO much meaning!!
Book title: 4.0
The Sweeney Sisters is a great title for this book!
Gut feeling: 4.0 stars
It was exactly what I expected from Lian Dolan - another great novel!
Highly RECOMMEND
